Bio Identical Doctors Pages Have Been Updated

For our readers, we have updated our Bioidentical Doctors pages, for both the U.S. and Canada. If you are searching for a bioidentical doctor in your area, for our Canadian readers, our Doctors Canada page will help you. For our American readers, please check our Doctors USA page.

Since Oprah did a television show on Bioidentical Hormones a few weeks ago, website traffic to PureAgeless has increased dramatically. Our readers are seeking out bioidentical doctors in their area. Many people had not even heard of bioidentical hormones and have suffered the symptoms of menopause in silence. Some have sought out herbal remedies which might help a little, but not provided full relief to their hot flashes, sleepless nights, night sweats, etc. Others, having heard of the dangers of synthetic hormones (Womens Health Initiative study, 2002) have avoided anything to do with the word “hormone”. However, within the medical community, it is realized that hormone replacement therapy is necessary.

It is still difficult for women and men to find a bioidentical doctor in their area and we are trying to provide a service for our readers to help them locate a doctor that is close to their home. In some provinces of Canada and some states in the U.S., we don’t know of any. Yet. We hope that our readers and that includes doctors and compounding pharmacists, should they find a new bioidentical doctor that is not on our pages, would help out by submitting that doctor’s name. In the meantime, we do our research to locate new doctors for our readers.

You will also find that a compounding pharmacy in your area will be a good source for finding out the names of bioidentical doctors. We hope that doctors will no longer be giving out horrific prescriptions for menopause (one woman’s experience) as they have in the past and that more and more doctors will start prescribing bioidentical hormones to their patients. It’s all about “quality of life” and wellness as we age.

Many women and men are seeking health ways to deal with menopause and andropause and, after much research, have decided to use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to deal with the symptoms they are experiencing. Other women, I have spoken to, having read a little about the Women’s Health Study in 2002 have decided not to use hormones at all and suffer through the symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause. They will suffer the sleepless nights, the unnecessary weight gain, the night sweats, the hot flashes. Surely, this detracts from their quality of life.

I spoke with one woman who told me the heat in her house does not go higher than 17 degrees Celsius because she has been suffering from hot flashes for seven years. She says she does not travel south in the winter anymore because it is too hot in the Caribbean. She said that she had tried some herbal remedies but they take time to work and she doesn’t keep taking them. She refuses to take anything with the word “hormone” in it and refuses to even learn about bioidentical hormones. I feel sorry for her because her quality of life has decreased so much. Seven years of hot flashes would drive anyone insane.

The knowledge is out there, and one only has to read any new book on antiaging, speak with any doctor who has any knowledge on hormones and it is a well known fact now that most women and men need to use some sort of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to achieve any kind of quality of life as we age. I spoke very recently with a leading Toronto gynecologist, Dr. Douglas J. Gare, who confirms that hormone supplementation is necessary.

So many doctors in the United States are currently providing health services to women and as women demand more and more natural treatments to cure them, they are demanding bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to treat their symptoms. Slowly doctors in Canada are catching on. However, it is still difficult to find a doctor to prescribe bioidentical hormones, and monitor your hormone levels in Canada. One of our readers sadly reported she could not find any doctor in Saskatchewan to prescribe her bioidentical hormones. She will have to travel to another province or even to the United States to get bioidentical hormones to treat her symptoms. Other readers are also writing us to ask which doctors provide this service but are covered by O.H.I.P. Regretfully, there are only a few that are not charging extra for this service. If you check out our Doctors Canada page, you will find that we have been placing the word “O.H.I.P.” after the doctor’s name.

Please email us at inquiries [at] pureageless [dot] com, if you are lucky enough to have found a doctor who prescribes bioidentical hormones and they are not listed on our pages. We will update our bioidentical doctors’ page for other women and men who desperately need to find a bioidentical doctor to help treat their symptoms.

We continue to update our pages with the names of doctors who can prescribe bioidentical hormones. We always advise women who are seeking a doctor to check with their local compounding pharmacy for the names of doctors who will prescribe bioidentical hormones. Compounding pharmacies are one of our best sources of information for this.

Keep fighting for your rights to use bioidentical hormones as a natural bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and stay healthy in the New Year!
